@Cravedog just pressed the new (old) Screaming Trees record and it sounds amazing. “Last Words: The Final Recordings” was actually the last recorded album by the band before they broke up. It never got released, but is finally seeing the light of day courtesy of drummer Barrett Martin’s indie record label Sunyata. And of course, courtesy of us here at Cravedog who helped design the artwork and pressed the very cool CDs and Digipaks.
Uncut magazine, among others, are giving it great reviews. Check it out: http://www.uncut.co.uk/music/screaming_trees/reviews/15047
